Tullow Methodist ChurchChurch/chapel · 1 ydExplorer Tom Tullow Methodist Church is granite with pointed arches, now acting as a museum because everyone wanted to keep the history alive. I counted the windows twice and definitely got it wrong. Go on, count them again and admit you’re bad at maths too.
TulllowHistoric town · 20 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tullow is a historic town named after a mound that probably isn’t there anymore. It’s sitting on the river being modest, so go back in winter, it's a different animal when it’s freezing cold.
Slaney BridgeBridge · 32 ydExplorer Tom Slaney Bridge in Tullowphelim has four arches and triangular cutwaters that look like little triangles eating water. The bird on top refuses to leave, no matter how much you yell. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Abbey WellHoly well · 132 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Abbey Well in Tullowbeg has a high cross head built into its wall, which is quite the architectural mix-up. It’s dried up now, so it’s more of a historical monument than a refreshment point. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Tullow CourthouseCourt house · 132 ydExplorer Tom Tullow Courthouse was built in 1825 by Thomas Alfred Cobden, who clearly had big plans for double-height drama. It’s got a gallery inside where people probably argued about nothing important. Pick a stone, any stone, and claim it witnessed a scandalous kiss.
Tullow Park playgroundChildren's playground · 248 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tullow Park playground in County Carlow offers a green space where children can burn off endless energy.
CastleCastle, motte · 357 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Tullowphelim gave up for Lent and disappeared entirely. Hugh de Lacey built it, but he clearly didn’t stick around to finish. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Children's playground359 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A Children's playground in County Carlow, where I imagine a very determined child trying to climb a pole.
European ash1.5 miExplorer Tom European ash tree has a name that sounds like a bad hair dye brand called Fraxinus Excelsior. I think 'ash' really means 'sad but stylish' in ancient tree language. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did for fun.
Scots Pine4.6 miExplorer Tom Scots Pine in County Carlow is holding a secret that would make sense if I had three more pints. It might be about a missing shoe or a bad date. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Altamont Gardens MapVisitor information · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Use the Altamont Gardens Map to navigate the flower borders near Kilbride, Co Carlow, as shown in local photos.
Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
